This is a spark totem invoker. I will play this build in HCSSF 0.5 and will level with Bows Martial Artist.
So first things first, it's desgined for people that don't wanna die a lot and there is a lot of philosophical arguments that made me think this is the best I can play to do all content in HCSSF while still being fast.
Leveling guide is in POB / Youtube Video.
For detailed explanations about everything, consider watching the Youtube-Video.

How it Plays
You place totem and run fast and loot for mapping.
For bossing you can just do a one button build if you are lazy, but there are a lot of buttons you can press to increase your damage. One important thing to keep in mind is that totems dont snapshot. Any buffs you can apply are checking if you fulfill the requirement in the moment. This is esp interesting when it comes to Zenith 2 support. You wanna stay above 90% mana as much as possible.
An ideal single target rotation would be:
0. You enter any boss room and wait 5-20 seconds.
1. Place Orb of storms and let them disappear so get lightning infusions
2. Do one thunderstorm on where the boss will spawn so that you always have crit and non-crit recently (important for some passives)
3. Cast Ele Weakness ~1 second before boss spawns
4. Cast frost bomb where boss spawns
5. Place 6 totems close together
6. Whenevery you pick up the Lightning Infusion, cast Flame Wall so that the totem projectiles travel through it.
7. Cast Mana Tempest and yoink the buff, the buff lingers for a few sec. You can recast it when it falls off and boss is not dead yet.
8. Dodge while boss dies or repeat or just replace totems.
How it Works
You meditate to overflow your es and clear maps with totems. It's a one button build outside of bossing.
